Main Street Theatre Works Announces Its 2019 Season

Celebrating
25 Years of Professional-Quality Theatre in Amador County

Jackson,
CA(January 27, 2019) – This year, Main
Street Theatre Works (MSTW) celebrates 25 years of producing theatre in Amador
County. And this is our 16th year at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre
in Jackson. We’re kicking off our 2019 Summer Season with the Ken Ludwig
comedy, Leading Ladies, directed by Allen Pontes.

Actors, Jack (Scott Adams) and Leo (Rick Grant-Coons), find
themselves so down on their luck that they're performing "Scenes from
Shakespeare" at the Moose Lodge in the Amish country of Pennsylvania.
When they hear that a millionairess in York, PA is about to die and is seeking
her sister’s children, Max & Steve, to leave a bulk of her fortune, the
boys resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.
However, they soon find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but
nieces! But desperate times call for desperate measures. Also featured in
the cast are Bethany Hidden, Kaitlin Richards, Earl Victorine, Maggie Upton,
Scott Taylor, and Jason Kaye. Leading Ladiesruns June 22nd - July 21st.

Our second summer show, Alone Together byLawrence Roman, and directed by Susan
McCandless, isa hilarious comedy for
those parents who understand what it means to have "boomerang
kids." After 30 years of child rearing, George (Allen Pontes) &
Helene Butler (Julie Anchor) are practically drooling with anticipation as
their youngest, and last of three sons, drives off to start
college. But dreams of carefree days and passion-filled nights are quickly
dashed when eldest son Michael (Jason Kaye), followed by middle sibling Elliott
(Eric Fawcett), take up residence in the bedrooms of their youth. Now mom
and dad have to figure out how to push the birdies back out of the nest. Also
in the cast are Conner Ohlrich and Rian Lombardo. Alone Together runs August 11th – September 9th.Main
Street Theatre Works is a professional, non-AEA theatre company, performing in
the heart of Amador County. Now entering its 25th season, MSTW
continues to be dedicated to bringing artists together to produce plays that
stimulate both artists and audiences.

The
stage is set for the 16th year at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre in
Jackson, CA. Located on the Kennedy Gold Mine property, patrons walk past an
old tailing wheel (used when the mine was in operation), across a bridge, onto
a grass-covered, terraced bowl. There the stage is set for picnicking and quality
theatre under the stars. You are truly sitting on a gold mine.
